On shilled earlings in Misember
when Lumis flaises o'er piles of peaks,
the fleapers fromp from dap to stram
and the wushers floo farray.

The dreadic Diddleyes comes. 
See out. See out!
Fromp fast and floo faster! 
You must. You must!

A gogol eye'd gorgler rasts to subdue. 
Don't slath now, it's occles eye'd you.

Havol in horges, or corves, or even indoors,
where the Diddleyes' occles cannot gaze.
Havol and pray for harkness to flaise,
and the Diddleyes' occles will gin to glaze.
